We have not just discovered sustainability recently. We are building on foundations developed over the last 120 years, and have systems and processes in place to support doing business in a sustainable way. To us, Sustainable Development means combining long-term economic value-creation with a forward-thinking approach to corporate governance, environmental stewardship and social responsibility.
We base our sustainability activities on issues of material importance to Allianz as an insurer and long-term investor as well as to our stakeholders.
Our activities are organized according to four areas:
Business: we are furthering sustainability in our own investments, products and services
Environment: we try to further reduce our carbon footprint and continue to be carbon neutral
People: we encourage social engagement in Allianz and work to increase the number of women in leadership positions
Ethics: we strive to maintain the highest standards of integrity and transparency and foster dialogues with political decision makers and related institutions.

We nurture a corporate culture in which global challenges such as demographic change or climate change are managed effectively – not only in terms of the risks they pose, but also because of the opportunities they present to contribute to the company’s sustainable and profitable growth.
